Webdav

You can connect to a webdav server using Windows Explorer by typing into the address bar \\localhost@port\DavWWWRoot\path\.

Mapping a drive

You can also permanently map a webdav server to show up in the explorer.

  1. Open Windows File Explorer and go to "This PC" (or "My Computer").
  2. Click the "Computer" tab at the top, then select "Add a network location" or right-click "This PC" and choose "Add a network location".
  3. In the wizard, choose "Choose a custom network location" and click "Next".
  4. Enter your WebDAV server URL, for example:
    • http://localhost/ (for default port 80)
    • http://localhost:3000/ (for custom port 3000)
    • You can also specify a subdirectory, e.g., http://localhost:3000/subdir
  5. Click "Next" and provide a name for the network location.
  6. Complete the wizard. The new network location will appear in "This PC" and can be accessed like a folder.
